Finger food catering, food truck, or BBQ in Essen – the choice is yours
Located in the heart of the Ruhr area, the former industrial stronghold of Essen now offers much more than just industrial heritage and the gritty "Ruhrpott" vibe. Beyond industrial monuments like the UNESCO World Heritage site Zollverein Coal Mine in Essen-Stoppenberg, expansive green spaces invite you to explore and unwind. For example, there is the Grugapark or the Villa Hügel with its park. There are plenty of locations for outdoor events or a relaxed team evening.

Had ordered the food for a full-day workshop for 12 people (vegetarian. /vegan sandwiches, mini croissants, muffins, lunch bowls) was delicious as always and was delivered on time.
Always happy!”
The ordering process was super easy, the selection was delivered on time - including beautiful decorations (fresh fruit, tomatoes, herbs in pots, decorative pumpkin) - and attractively distributed on the tables. The food itself was very well received by colleagues. Each dish was labelled and there was also information about allergens.”
